Hull City form and stats
Hull City, who have the fewest conceded goals (7) at home in League One, have performed here at KCOM Stadium this season with 8 wins from 12 League One matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 3. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Hull after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Hull City are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Burton Albion. In the match before that, Hull hosted Lincoln City (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) and drew the EFL Trophy game 1-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Hull City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hull as a small favourite), we find 17 games. Hull City has won six of these, drawn two and lost nine.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Hull as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Milton Keynes Dons are visiting.

Lincoln City play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Gillingham (placed 14th). Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Hull City (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties).
Goalkeeper Alex Palmer was absolutely vital in the Lincoln victory against Gillingham, making six saves.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Lincoln City in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Lincoln, five draws and four defeats.
